Summer semester is a great time to become reorganized and set goals for the fall. Staying motivated can be hard, but these five apps make becoming a better version of oneself easy and fun. 

Notion 

Notion is a customizable app that allows users to create lists, notes, schedules and so much more. The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to Notion, which gives students the ability to plan out and organize almost every part of their life. Webpages can also be saved into notion for easy access later. After first downloading the app, Notion provides several video tutorials to help navigate and use their platform. 

While it is great to have everything all in one place, Notion can be somewhat overwhelming. Below are four more apps that students can use to stay organized that may be more user-friendly. 

Google Calendar

Google Calendar is great for scheduling and planning out days. Users can add an event to their calendars such as class, a meeting or work and visualize it. This is a great way to schedule in time for going to the gym, studying, hanging out with friends or anything else around things like class and work. 

Each event can be a different color, a great way to visually separate work and school life from personal life. Google Calendar can even give a reminder when an event is coming up. 

Owaves 

Owaves is a great app for those who need to visualize their day in order to stay organized and on schedule. Essentially, Owaves is a ring, like a clock, that users can add different time segments to like sleeping, eating, working out and working so that they can make sure they set aside enough time for everything and that it all fits into one day.

HabitMinder 

HabitMinder is an app to track habits and goals. The app has a range of habits to choose from such as walk, read, take medicine, hydrate and call friends. Users can even create custom habits if the app doesn’t already have the one they want. 

Once users select what habit they want to focus on, they can decide the frequency. The app will send reminders for completing the habits. The only downside to this app is that the free version only allows three habits. 

Google Keep 

Google Keep, like Notion, is a great place to store to-do lists and notes. Each note users make is pinned to a dashboard, meaning they are all visible from the home screen. This is great for students as they can quickly open the app and see what notes and to-do lists they currently have. Users can create to-do lists, notes, audio notes, and even handwritten notes for those who might use this app on a tablet.
